### Dea Interface

The Dea interface is used with DEA GAMMA and newer DEA machines (with Tutor P & B3P Series controllers), Manual Mistral machines (with M Inside Card controller), and Swift Manual machines (with "White Box" (AKA CPM3) controllers).

If your PC has Tutor for Windows already installed, PC-DMIS locates the WTUTOR.INI file and extracts the relevant information about the location of the compensation map, mechanical offsets, etc., and sets the corresponding options in the registry. If you are installing on a computer that does not have Tutor installed then you need to make the relevant changes to the registry.

Before you start PC-DMIS, rename dea.dll to interfac.dll.

The Machine Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Machine Interface Setup) has these tabs for the Dea interface:
